Hydra Suite - Cloud Command and Control
=======================================

The Hydra Suite is a complete set of tools for orchestration and management of
network of machines.

This suite is made of three commands:

  - hydractl: issues commands in the current host.
  - hydra:    issues commands on multiple hosts.
  - hydras:   issues commands to multiple sets of hosts.

It is also built around a set of Puppet modules which does the actual
configuration of each system.

Installation
------------

First, clone the code:

    git clone git://git.fluxo.info/hydra.git && cd hydra

Then check the source integrity of the latest release:

    tag="`git describe --abbrev=0 --tags`"
    git tag -v $tag && git checkout $tag

Finally, add hydra folder to your `$PATH` or run the following command to install
it under `/usr/local`:

    ./hydractl install

Managing an existing network
----------------------------

If you have enough credentials (ssh pubkey set in the server), you can fetch
all the needed repositories and configurations to a local folder
`~/file/example` using simply the following command:

    hydra example init ~/file/example git@admin.example.org:config.git

Creating a new network
----------------------

Use the following commands to create the needed repositories when starting a new network:

    hydra example init   ~/file/example
    hydra example config domain example.org
